It was a mistake to attack Serbia,

You are correct, but, you seem to have a lack of knowledge.

Let me explain. One of the primary reasons NATO found itself sucked into Kosovo was because there was a prevailing belief that if the Kosovo conflict was not stopped it would soon spill over into Macedonia. If that happened then that republic's neighbors would be pulled in. Albania would invoke its defense treaties with Turkey, Greece would then become involved and there might even be subsequent repercussions in Cyprus.

Furthe, and perhaps more importantly, is that 1999 NATO bombings were a knee-jerk reaction to Serbian actions from Dubrovnik to Vukovar, to Sarajevo, to Srebenica.

I hope this helps.

NATO went into Kosovo and THEN the Albanian terrorists spilled into Macedonia and into the Preshevo valley! How long until the they start up again?
